ADAM HERIG, OF CLEVELAND, OHIO.

HEAT-DISTRIBUTEAR.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 687,154, dated November19, 1901.

Application filed December 7, 1900. Serial No. 39,062. (No model.)

To all whom it mag concern:

Be it known that I, ADAM HERIG, a citizen of the United States ofAmerica, and a resident of Cleveland, Ouyahoga county, Ohio,

have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Heat-Distributers,of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to heat-distributors; and it consists in the newcombination and arrangement of means for enhancing the discharge of hotair from the air-pipes by extending the hot-air pipes above the floorand surrounding them with boxes or casings having perforations in theirbase controlled by dampers whereby the cold air from the floor isprevented from retarding the hot air from the airpipes.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a vertical section of a floor,register-box, and my improved heat-distributor, showing its constructionand working. Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the distributor.

A represents the floor of a room.

B is the register-box as usually placed in the floor, and G is a hot-airpipe connecting the register-box with a furnace. (Not shown.) 7

D is a short extension of hot'air pipe 0, set in the box after removingthe registerplate. E is a box or casing surrounding said pipe D, made ofwood or other suitable material and may be made square or other formhaving dimensions equal to the register-box .B and of a little greaterheight than the pipe D. In the sides of box E, at the base, are madeopenings e e, covered by regulatingdampers F F. The register-plate whenremoved is placed on the top of the box E. The box E and pipe D may notbe permanently attached together, nor are they to be permanently fixedto the floor, but are portable and transferable.

With the use of this device hot-air pipes in rooms that are afiected bycold drafts along the floor, which retard the discharge of hot air andwhich are robbed of their hot air by adjacent pipes, are immediatelyremedied, for by increasing the height of the airpipes their draft isincreased thereby and the efiec'ts of the cold air is out off therefrom,and said cold air is drawn into the perfora- 5o tions in the base of theouter casing,where it passesupward between the casing and the pipeD,also the direct retarding influence of the cold air, as well as causinga circulation of the air in the room.

Having described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure byLetters Patent, 1s-= In a hot-air distributer, the combination of ahot-air pipe, a register-box connected with said hot-air pipe, andprovided with a central opening, an exterior pipe fitting in saidopening and the mouth of the hot-air pipe and extending above theregister-box, a rectangular casing resting upon said registerbox andincasing the extension-pipe, said casing being provided with a series ofperforations controlled by slides around its lower edges of the side,said perforations being adapted to admit air into the casing around theextension-pipe, a grated cover for said casing and a series of pivotalslides carried by said cover to regulate the flow of heat into therooms.
